The Appeals Chamber recalls that the UN Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter as a legislator, has adopted the Statute and established the Tribunal as an instrument for the exercise of its own principal function of maintenance of peace and security, i.e., as a measure contributing to the restoration and maintaining of peace in the former Yugoslavia. While the UN Security Council is not a judicial organ and is not provided with judicial powers, it exercises, in discharge of its functions, both decision-making and executive powers,[3] including those related to the mandates of the Tribunal’s Judges.[4] [1] The Prosecutor v.
